Let me express the equation clearly:
lim x→-9 (x²-81)/(x+9)
Initially, we solve this by substituting x=-9 to the equation.
((-9)²-81)/(-9+9) = 0/0
The term 0/0 is undefined. This means that the solution is not see on the number line because it is imaginary. Other undefined terms are N/0 (where N is any number), 0⁰, 0×∞, ∞-∞, 1^∞ and ∞/∞. One way to solve this is by applying L'Hopitals Rule. This can be done by differentiating the numerator and denominator of the fraction independently. Then, you can already substitute the x=-9.
(2x-0)/(1+0) = 2x = 2(-9) = -18
The other easy way is to substitute x=-8.999 to the original equation. Note that the term x→-9 means that x only approaches to -9. Thus, you substitute a number that is very close to -9. Substituting x=-8.999
((-8.999)²-81)/(-8.999+9) = -18
12 x 16 = 192 square inches
Pretty sure it’s d. 5,000 kilograms
Answer:
a)Slope:
Intercept:
b)
And the determination coeffecient is
Step-by-step explanation:
Data given and definitions
The correlation coefficient is a "statistical measure that calculates the strength of the relationship between the relative movements of two variables". It's denoted by r and its always between -1 and 1.
The sum of squares "is the sum of the square of variation, where variation is defined as the spread between each individual value and the grand mean"
When we conduct a multiple regression we want to know about the relationship between several independent or predictor variables and a dependent or criterion variable.
n=110,

Part a
The slope is given by this formula:
If we replace we got:
We can find the intercept with the following formula
We can find the average for x and y like this:
And replacing we got:
Part b
In order to calculate the correlation coefficient we can use this formula:
For our case we have this:
n=110,
So we can find the correlation coefficient replacing like this:
And the determination coeffecient is
